Liu Jie worked hard to tell a story in the hope that the emperor could make a quick decision and get rid of the unreliable female guards. He never expected that the emperor would make the least choice.

For a whole day, Liu Jie followed the emperor and tried every means to convince him to change his mind. "Emperor Wu never took risks personally. 'The emperor is rich in the world, so he should do his best to do everything himself, and do everything himself, not what the emperor does.' This is what I heard from Emperor Wu with my own ears."

Han Ruzi was watching Zhang Youcai and Niu pack up their things and replied: "The Wu Emperor's words are not wrong, but the Great Chu is now in danger. It is not like the time of Emperor Wu, but more like the Taizu at the beginning. The military and civilians have been exhausted for a long time. Even if there are severe punishments and harsh laws, they cannot exploit the 'power of the world'. If the emperor does not do it himself, he will probably not be able to protect the country."

Liu Jie was silent. The emperor who was humble in asking for advice before dawn suddenly became so independent that he could only blame himself for telling the story of Emperor Wu too well.

"Your Majesty does not need to go to the northern border in person, just send a general or other generals. It is better to stay in Pengcheng and make a picture after the Qi rebels are wiped out."

Han Ruzi was checking the treasure sword. He didn't bring all other things on his way to the battle, but there were five treasures, all of which were treasured in the imperial arsenal. He was made in his early years and had never been to the battlefield. Han Ruzi carried a car with him, and the rest was kept by Zhang Youcai and Loach.

"Good swords." Every time Han Ruzi appreciates these swords, he will give a sincere praise, gently retract them into the sheath, and say to the Zhongshi Supervisor: "All the ministers do not care about the Huns. I believe that the Huns collude with the rebels, so naturally I will go to supervise the battle in person. On the contrary, the general has formulated a detailed plan to eliminate the rebels. He is sure to win and not move easily. Moreover, my personal expedition to the north may be able to deter the Huns for a period of time and wait for the rebellion to quell the rebellion to the north."

Liu Jie was frustrated and followed the emperor to check the horses. He thought of another remark, "Your Majesty should not underestimate the enemy. I remember that when the Great Chu was defeated by the Huns several times, it was not until Emperor Lie ascended the throne that the situation was reversed and could only be overwhelming until the middle of Emperor Wu's period."

"At the time when the Great Chu inherited the rebellion of the previous dynasty, there were no soldiers, generals, and all the weapons, armor, equipment, horses, food and grass. The Great Wall in the North was disrepaired for a long time and was damaged. It could only compete with the Xiongnu cavalry on the grassland. It was of course difficult to win. Although the Great Chu is not a prosperous era, its strengths are all there, so why worry about not being able to win?"

Han Ruzi gently stroked the neck of a dark horse, and could clearly feel its kindness to him, so he smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I will not go out of the border to go to the northern border, and I will focus on defending the city. Moreover, I will slow down and join the 50,000 northern troops in the pass."

Liu Jie was speechless again, but he still did not give up and continued to follow the emperor.

Han Ruzi went to inspect the army he went to fight. First, the 1,000 soldiers led by the fierce general Fan Chushan, most of them came from the south and north armies, and a small number of guards. All of them were elite soldiers and strong generals selected from the best. The emperor ordered the order and they were ready in half a day.

Although there were not many people, they were quite imposing in line, with long spears and crossbows on their side, and they all looked like they could fight ten.

After the inspection, Fan Chushan led his troops out of the city to camp and could set off at any time tomorrow morning.

Liu Jie took the opportunity to say again: "How much does Your Majesty know about the Meng brothers and sisters?"

"I understand everything I should know." Han Ruzi did not leave the barracks immediately, but rode a horse to guard the door, watching the soldiers lined up out of the camp, and a large number of traitors who had been hidden before ran out, and hurriedly packed up the tents and various vehicles.

"Does Your Majesty know that Meng E had been betrothed to the Prince of Fuyu as the Prince of Qi? This is a marriage they had reached long ago. The Meng brothers and sisters entered the palace to serve as guards for the Queen Mother, which delayed several years."

Han Ruzi had never heard of this, but her expression did not appear. She turned her head and asked, "Meng brothers and sisters are actually surnamed Chen. Does Liu Gong know their real names?"

Liu Jie shook his head, "Mr. Jing originally wanted to send a spy to the island, but the empress dowager ordered a ban on investigations of the Meng brothers and sisters and Yishi Island, so the matter had to be left unresolved."

"Yi Shi Island has existed for many years, why didn't Da Chu send troops to wipe it out?"

"I heard that I had sent a long time ago. At that time, I didn't know that Chen Qi's descendants lived on the island. They just thought they were ordinary pirates, but they couldn't find anyone every time. As soon as the officers and soldiers went out of the sea, all the islanders were transferred. The island was full of wooden houses and thatched houses, which were easy to rebuild after burning them."

"So that's it." Han Ruzi ordered to go to Yiwei Camp for inspection.

Liu Jie sighed, not understanding how the female guard gained the emperor's trust, but he was unable to get away with him.

There were not only 200 Yi Guards in the Yiwei camp, but also a large number of clans, nobles and ministers who followed the emperor to fight for the emperor, plus their respective entourages, the total number was far more than a thousand.

The characteristic of Yiwei Camp is that there are more flags than people. Many people carry two flags behind their backs, and there may be one side in their hands. The same is true for many powerful and noble children. On the surface, they all have various types of generals, lieutenants, and regular servants. The most important task is to give the emperor a strong momentum.

They all did it, everyone was dressed in bright armor, and even those teenagers in their teens were wearing fitted armor.

The emperor personally fought for the expedition, and of course the powerful and noble children could not fall behind, and they all "voluntarily" followed the expedition.

The Yiwei Camp was too bloated, and Han Ruzi issued an order on the spot, and each person could only bring one entourage, and the other entourages were left in Pengcheng and were not allowed to follow the army from afar. If there were any violations of the order, it would be considered as deserter.

No one dared to say anything when the emperor was there. As soon as the emperor left, the Yiwei camp quickly burst into mourning. Even many pure Yiwei soldiers brought more than two followers, let alone the wealthy and powerful children? The nobles who had followed Juehou were not surprised at all. They even showed off proudly: "I have advised you a long time ago. This time I went to the expedition, I will only bring one follower, and the things will be simplified. However, no matter what, I will get one or two good horses. Who knows when the emperor will march overnight again?"

Liu Jie had no choice but to use his last move. He had already returned to his residence. While there was no one around, Liu Jie said: "How much does Your Majesty believe in the General?"

"The General is the Queen's father. I believe in him as much as my father-in-law."

Liu Jie took a step forward and whispered mysteriously: "The queen is not pregnant."

Han Ruzi once wrote half a letter, implying that the queen was pregnant, so as to stabilize Cui Hong's heart. Liu Jie already knew it and knew very well that this was a scam. "Your Majesty, I dared to write a letter to the imperial doctor, and the answer I got was that the queen was not pregnant."

"You told the General?"

"Of course not, this is a secret."

"Very good, then let it continue to be a secret."

"The general has a wide connection and will know the truth sooner or later, maybe he will know it now."

Han Ruzi smiled slightly, "I dare to bet that the general will make this a secret."

Liu Jie was stunned, and then realized that the emperor and the general were maintaining a delicate balance and trust, and no one wanted to break it. Even if Cui Hong knew that his daughter was not pregnant, he would not show it. Instead, he would continue to be "deceived" so that the emperor could trust him.

Liu Jie was really helpless. Except for Cui Hong, the officials accompanying him were too low and were not trusted by the emperor, so the persuasion effect would not be better than that of himself.

"Oh, Yang Feng was ruining the country." Liu Jie sighed.

"What does it have to do with Yang Feng?" Han Ruzi asked in surprise.

"I have worked with Yang Feng for several years, and I can hear that Your Majesty is deeply influenced by him. If Your Majesty has any, Yang Feng will be the biggest sinner."

It was Han Ruzi's turn to be stunned. He never felt that he was very similar to Yang Feng.

Liu Jie saw the emperor's expression change and thought the opportunity had come again. "Recalling back then, Emperor Si even called Yang Feng the teacher, but in the end he couldn't even bear it. He once forbidden to meet the two, Emperor Si had already suffered a lot..."

Liu Jie shut up. He said too much, and it had exceeded the limit and violated his basic principles as an internal official.

"What's wrong with Emperor Si?"

Liu Jie thought about it and thought that the current emperor was more important, so he said: "Emperor Si had also secretly left the palace to investigate the whereabouts of some mysterious organization. Soon after, the poison was killed. Some people guessed that it was the empress dowager, but that was impossible. The empress dowager was cold on the surface, but it was actually extremely favored by Emperor Si. The empress dowager thought it was the envoy of Concubine Cui. This was possible, but it was just a guess. I and Mr. Jing didn't have time to do too much investigation, but they all thought that Emperor Si might have been poisoned outside the palace, but it was a bit late. Yang Feng probably had nothing to do with the poisoner, but he encouraged Emperor Si to take risks, and he could not refuse to blame him."

Yang Feng was the eunuch who brought into the palace from the Donghai Kingdom. He was once noble and became the attendant of the Central Secretariat. Liu Jie, Jing Yao and others entered the palace from childhood and stood up to a high position step by step. They were naturally dissatisfied with the "half-way eunuch" like Yang Feng.

Han Ruzi said seriously: "Mr. Liu is eager to protect his master. I know very well, but Mr. Liu only cares about my own safety. What I care about is the world. Release of food, quelling chaos, and fighting against the Huns are all the top priorities of the world. If nothing happens, the world will be damaged. If Mr. Liu really wants to do his best, it is better to recommend a few capable talents for me."

Liu Jie blushed and knelt on the ground and said, "Liu is incompetent and has been with Your Majesty for many days, but he has not recommended anyone."

Han Ruzi smiled and said, "The future is long."

Liu Jie had no choice but to leave. The emperor had to bring a lot of things to go on his way, so he had to start taking care of it.

"Those two piano players..." Han Ruzi called out to Liu Jie.

"How about the pianist?"

Han Ruzi hesitated for a moment and decided to bring the two of them, "From the future, stay next door to me and only play empty music, and try not to disturb others."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Jie retreated.

Han Ruzi sat alone for a while, imagining that Yang Feng and Emperor Si had a little jealousy.

But he quickly removed this useless mood and went out again. This time he summoned the officials with him and asked them to draw up a marching route. When he went north, he tried to go to several counties as much as possible. One was to wait for 50,000 Northern Army, and the other was to supervise the release of grain in various places. Especially the latter, he personally drafted three imperial edicts, ordering that when receiving the emperor in various places, he must keep a simple order and save money and grain to help refugees.

After everything was over, the second update was approaching. Han Ruzi planned to rest early and set off early tomorrow. When he returned to the bedroom door, he heard the sound of the piano coming from next door. It was the sound of the air music that made him feel good. He stood there and listened for a while. He felt much more relaxed and had a premonition that he would have a good sleep tonight.

Zhang Youcai and Niuqiu, who went into the house to clean up the bed in advance, made a "huh" sound at the same time. Han Ruzi quickly walked into the house and walked into the inner room. He saw that under the candlelight, there was already a person sitting on his bed.

Zhang Qinyan put on the bed, looked up at the emperor. (To be continued.)
